Floods kill 13 in central Vietnam 14 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseFloods caused by heavy downpours have killed 13 people in central Vietnam, officials said Thursday, as farmers scrambled to save crops and livestock ahead of more bad weather forecast for this week. One farmer in Quang Nam province said he lost all his chickens in the flooding, costing him tens of thousands of dollars. Several areas in Quang Nam and Quang Ngai provinces were still inundated on Thursday after hydropower plants discharged reservoir waters. Vietnam is frequently hit by heavy downpours during the typhoon season from May to October, but forecasters said the rains arrived late this year.
